Braces??????

So, I just got my braces put on today. And they hurt really bad, I keep taking pain medicine, but it doesn't work. I can feel my teeth moving, and it makes me just want to die. How could I get them to stop hurting as much?

Braces??????
omg i got mine on like a week ago...and there's no way for them to stop hurting but it will eventually stop....just eat soft stuff and brush gentle until the pain goes away...trust me it will get alot better...

Reply:get numbing cream when u put it on your gums it totally numbs all the pain works great.
Reply:Well tylenol is the best, and after that theres not much you can do but wait. after the first week youll be able to eat regular foods again. keep your chin up, youll eventually have beautiful teeth!!
Reply:im gna get braces next weeek .. i thot just getting expanders fitted hurt but medicine worked for me.. cold water did too so and the best way i can think of besides those two is to numb it so you could just get like mouth sore medicine and put it all over ur gums like the stuff babies use when they teeth

My teeth always hurt for days after they were adjusted. Eat soft foods and just keep taking pain meds - it's just something you will have to get used to - sorry for the bad news.
Reply:I know!!! I just got a bionator to day its killing me! I have no clue what to do, ask your mom or dad to get a stronger medicine.





good luck
Reply:I had braces and they sucked no doubt. And unfortunately, time is your only friend. The pain will go away in a day or two, but besides taking meds (which are highly addictive), your best bet is to wait it out.





Not the answer you prolly wanted to hear, but it's the truth.





Good luck.
Reply:eat soft foods. try a different pain medicine. try to ignore it by not thinking about it, if u focus on something else then it wont hurt untill u remember them.





bad news: everytime they get tightened, this pain will be repeated, but it wont hurt as long, maybe a few days.
Reply:It's gonna hurt for a couple of months and really bad every time they tighten them. That's just the way it is. My best feature is my smile...because I had braces . Just think of the outcome and bite and grind it.
Reply:I had braces years ago. If you put some numbing gel on your gums it will help. It will be worth it when you take them off, you will have a pretty smile.
